congratulate me. i just wrote my first ever haiku — two of them, actually. they probably suck, and yeah, i managed to smack nature and emo together, hahaha.
The pale silver moon
Whispers of lost tales of love
As I weep for mine.
Blessed clouds above
Hide not the ever far sun
For at last I die.
i never ventured into haiku writing before because i'm so bad at keeping things short. i was already having problems with short stories that threatened to become novels, how much more with the less-than-ten-syllable lines of a haiku?
although i do remember writing several satisfactory limericks for a class exercise back in grade six. and i remember writing more for nearly half the class, too. i think that was when i realized i could be a poet.
i've written mostly free verse through the years, but recently i've been wanting to challenge myself to actually write serious poetry. by "serious" i mean following meters and feet, and trying out fixed poetry instead of free verse.
so i started with the haiku, and i think i will try a sonnet next. ;P
i figured it was time for new beginnings. the old asylum was getting rather crowded, what with three years worth of lamentations.
so i have moved to a new home, a spankin' new asyLuM. if you miss the old one, you can still read my laments of yore here.
welcome, then.

Hi! Your shoutbox is working fine!

At least for me. Haha. I’m not knowledgeable with poetry, you know. All I know strings of words, short or long, thick or thin, high and low, hard and soft make me happy, and wanting for more.
Keep it up, Stef!
